Of blogging and unemployment
,----[ Quote ]
| It seems that my post is seen by Microsoft Security as being a security
| violation. The picture itself might have been permissible, but because I also
| mentioned that I worked at the MSCopy print shop, and which building it was
| in, it pushed me over the line. Merely removing the post was also not an
| option — I offered, and my manager said that he had asked the same thing —
| but the only option afforded me was to collect any personal belongings I had
| at my workstation and be escorted out the door. They were at least kind
| enough to let me be escorted out by one of my co-workers, rather than sending
| security over to usher me out, but the end result is the same.

| So, I’m unemployed. I am somewhat lucky in that I’m not technically
| unemployed — I am still on the roster for my temp agency, who has been
| very good to me so far (and hopefully will continue to be), but as their
| ability to place me anywhere does depend on the current job market, it’s
| not a foolproof guarantee of employment coming in quickly. I’ve put a
| call into them and let them know of the situation and that I’m available
| and willing for whatever can be found, so with any luck, they’ll be able
| to find a placement for me. However, it appears that it’s also time for
| me to start hitting the streets and shopping my resume around again.
